Lovely design, interior, manual gear change and good technology. The Skyactiv X engine does need working hard to make swift progress, and subsequently fuel economy is not as good as hoped for (but on a motorway run high 40s is easily attainable). I have owned the previous generation Mazda 3, and the ride comfort is harsher and handling not as sharp, and I think this partly down to new model having a torsion beam at the rear rather than the independent rear suspension of the old model. Still drives well for a family hatch and is a very quiet cruiser on the motorway.

My vehicle is, after a year, lovely to look at, still a joy to drive. The cockpit is well laid out and comfortable. Only down side, there used to be a small niche in the boot which allowed me to store my golf clubs. That's not there now, need to take my driver out of the bag to fit the bag in. No big deal, don't know why they changed it, but that said, the Mazda is a great car

I love the gadgets, this is a full automatic, it has a forward facing infra-red camera, a radar transceiver behind the front badge and Alexa like voice commands. It has adaptive cruise control, sensors all round and even sports mode. These all make it easy to drive and easy to park.

When windows are wet, they do not clear when winding the window down and closing. This means physical cleaning of windows which can delay journey. De-mist often needs AC on before windows will clear. This includes in warmer months. Overall love the Mazda 3, just a few niggles with clearing windows

As a mature, single, senior the Mazda 3 provides me with an excellent vehicle, plenty of space when I travel, room in the front if I date or take a mate out and rear space if there are more needed (I've done 200 miles with two in the back and they said it was fine, even with me sitting back. The sound system is fabulous, and the link to my Samsung phone via Android Auto is seamless. The boys toys are excellent (360 camera, cruise control, mirror identifiers)

I am in my late seventies and this is the best of all the cars I have owned.
